Favorite Quote:
"Sometimes at night I would sleep open-eyed underneath a sky dripping with stars. I was alive then." -Albert Camus


He told me he loved me, but it was the kind of love that burns-
He said it was dark
Flames
Smoke curling into the night sky but hell,
I can still see the stars.
Well, darling, I’ve got to tell you something-

That’s not love.
Love isn’t telling me it’s okay that you hurt me because I’ll get used to it.
How dare you.
Don’t tell me that you love me and chide me for being ungrateful that you give me your time of day and that you’re not in some other girl’s bed.
Don’t tell me that I’m being unrealistic because I expected your loyalty because apparently now we are lawyers

And I wasn’t clear enough that when we signed the terms of agreements to be together,

Your loyalty was one of the things you agreed to sign for.
But that is gone, and you fell in love with her and don’t tell me you don’t love her when you compare me to her every single day,
When you say I am too kind to be human,
Because these kind lips may say words dripping with honey but darling,
Don’t you know that the best villains can sweet talk their way into anything?

He'll try to tell you it's your fault. (He's lying.)
